Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies
These Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies are quick to make and will please any pumpkin lover. A soft creamy center with a graham cracker coating- these are the perfect treat!
These cookies are so good! I love making them because I can mix them up in about 5 minutes, the dough doesn’t need any time in the fridge to chill, and they taste so amazing! They are a fun twist on cheesecake and so different than any other pumpkin dessert.
Chewy, dense, creamy, with just the right spices. It’s also great for when you have just a little pumpkin left at the bottom of the can after making another recipe. Don’t throw it out- use it for these delicious cookies! These are best served straight from the fridge, just like regular cheesecake. That means they’re perfect to make ahead and keep until you’re ready to serve or eat them.
